Top Tips For Selling Your Home In The Autumn

The summer months are coming to an end and the autumn is well on its way. The change in seasons brings a change for house viewings too. During the summer months the focus of house viewings is very much on the outdoor space and natural light. Viewings can be completed late into the evening as the sun is still out. However, this changes in the autumn months. House buyers want to picture a cosier scene for the colder, darker evenings. This is why we have put together some top tips for selling your home in autumn.

 

Tidy The Garden

While the garden is not the main focus of house viewing in autumn, potential house buyers still want to see a well-kept garden. Sweep away any fallen leaves from your garden but also the path outside your home. There may be litter that has blown into your garden, so it’s a good idea to clear this away too. Keep your eyes peeled for dead plants too and give them a trim. The key for selling your home in autumn is to keep your garden looking alive.

 

A Warm Welcome

You want to create a warm welcome to potential buyers viewing your home in the autumn months. A great way of doing this is to have the heating on. If you’re not home, pop the timer on so it warms up your home for their arrival. Creating that warm glow is a great way to go about selling your home in the autumn. Where possible, use candles or tea lights if you don’t have a fire you can light. This warm and lovely glow will create a warm and cosy feeling for those viewing your home.

 

Lights – Action

Just like lights, camera, action for the latest blockbuster, it’s lights and action when selling your home too. A simple table lamp can do wonders for a dark or gloomy corner. Bedside lamps can create a focal point of the bed, and underlighting in your kitchen can really brighten the space too. While switching the lights on in your home, make sure all the bulbs are in good working order and replace ones that are not.

 

Introduce Autumn Scents

Check out the candles and air fresheners in the shops. There will be scents in candles and tea lights like toasted marshmallows, pumpkin spiced scents and vanilla. These are all popular autumn scents that can warm your home. You could even create an autumnal display on your table with some reds, brown and burnt orange shades.
